This workshop series offers a chance to experiment, play, and learn about yourself. Using fun
and accessible artistic tools, you will have the opportunity to make friends with your thoughts
and feelings. These workshops are an opportunity to practice mindfulness in a supported
environment, identify habits and emotional loops, and develop a personalized toolkit for self-
care.
The tools presented in these workshops can be used to improve concentration, experience
mirroring, reduce overwhelm and practice self-soothing. These activities are important thriving
mechanisms for people who can be described as neurodiverse.
These tools come from techniques in the visual arts and poetry but are explored in ways that
focus on experiencing resilience, identifying core values, and learning self-reliance. They can be
used to strengthen the foundation of a creative practice and can be used by artists in any
discipline.

Presented by a local Saskatoon Artist, made possible by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and the
Government of Saskatchewan. Rebecca La Marre is a queer Canadian artist with a writing,
research, and performance practice. Her work is exhibited and published internationally and
has taken her to over 20 countries. She was recently diagnosed with Adult ADHD, autism,
anxiety, and depression. Through the diagnosis she discovered that many of the strategies she
uses in her art practice also double as effective ways to cope with challenging aspects of her
neurodiversity.
She holds a Masters in Art Writing from Goldsmiths, University of London, and has been the
recipient of funding from The British Arts Council, The Québec Council for the Arts and the
Federal Government of Canada. This workshop series is funded by SK Arts: Artists in
Communities.
